For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock. If you prefer a vegan option, substitute vegetable stock and use olive oil instead of butter. Adjust the amount of curry powder to your liking. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also add a subtle kick. The soup can be made ahead of time and reheated gently. The flavors will meld together even more overnight. Serve with a swirl of cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added richness.
